The Wire Multiple Objects Together QuickDrop tool (Ctrl + W) is extremely useful. However, at the moment it cannot wire a block diagram constant to multiple destinations. It would be useful if it could.
Real-world example
The other day I found myself writing the following code.
I tried using Ctrl + W to wire the timestamp constant to each of the timestamp global variables. Currently the tool wires the constant to the first global variable only (leaving all other global variables unwired). Therefore I had to manually wire the constant to each of the other global variables, which is a tedious, manual operation.
Side-note: Global variables are used because they are computationally efficient (they can be read and written to very quickly). We needed code that ran in a tight loop (up to 1,200 times per second). The VI above performs the one-off initialisation of the global variables, before they start being read/written to in the loop.
